My heads been built for deEstruction
Your thoughts wrapped around my E7thumb
It burns me down like a Asweet song
It brings me round and keeps me Enumb
It keeps you cool for the Epart time
It drives the blood to the E7bone
I dread all of these Afaces
To be walking home alonEe
Hold your C#mcards to your Achest and they'll keep you Ewarm
and my C#mhand upon your Ashoulder is only G#worse when im gone
when im AgoneG#  
My hands were built for reEjection
your not too tired to get enoE7ugh
you havent learnt in the Abest times
it comes around but you stay Enumb
your heading straight to the Ebackline
cant baby a feeling anyE7more
i never joined with your Aold fires
I never will cause they've gone Ecold
Hold your C#mcards to your Achest and they'll keep you Ewarm
and my C#mhand upon your Ashoulder is only G#worse when im gone
when im AgoneG#

C#m

My heads been built for destruction

Your thoughts wrapped around my thumb

It burns me down like a sweet song

It brings me round and keeps me numb

It keeps you cool for the part time

It drives the blood to the bone

I dread all of these faces

To be walking home alone

C#m A E

Hold your cards to your chest and they'll keep you warm

C#m A G#

and my hand upon your shoulder is only worse when im gone

A G#

when im gone

My hands were built for rejection

your not too tired to get enough

you havent learnt in the best times

it comes around but you stay numb

your heading straight to the backline

cant baby a feeling anymore

i never joined with your old fires

I never will cause they've gone cold

C#m A E

Hold your cards to your chest and they'll keep you warm

C#m A G#

and my hand upon your shoulder is only worse when im gone

A G#

when im gone
